Additional Course Details

EPI 516 is the second course in a two-course sequence on advanced epidemiologic methods. If you plan to take EPI 516 offered in Spring Quarter you should take Epi 515 in the Autumn quarter in preparation. In completing this part of the EPI 515-516 sequence, you will apply the concepts learned in EPI 515 and gain a greater understanding of the analytic methods available to address challenges present in epidemiologic studies. It is assumed that after completing the EPI 515-516 series, you will actually be conducting and analyzing research using epidemiologic study designs in the future. You are required to take the EPI 515-516 series if you are a doctoral student in epidemiology. You are also encouraged to take the EPI 515-516 series if you are a masters student and are interested in additional methodological training or a graduate student in another department and need or desire an exposure to advanced epidemiologic methods in order to apply them as research tools in your field.
